    Mr. Rushforth is a leading member of Nevada's probate and trust and estate planning bar in Nevada. If I have a question in this field I value Mr. Rushforth's opinion highly and commend him for making himself available to share his wealth of experience with other lawyers. In fact, I use with his kind permission his well drafted health care power of attorney which is so much better thought out than the statutory form. He's a real credit to the profession.
